My dear Miss Hubbard:
T
I did appreciate your letter of April 12 and it occurred
S
to us that a personal interview with Mrs. Martin would be the best solution
to the problem that you referred to.
She spent most of Wednesday afternoon with us and after
talking to Miss Dunbar, I reviewed the foreign nursing situation with her.
Before she left she asked if we could give her until the 25th for an answer.
I agreed to this, stating that if she was interested and her physical
examination was approved that we would proceed to process her application
for foreign service.
Mrs. Martin mentioned, while she was here, that she had
received a letter from our medical director asking for additional information
regarding her vision. She tried to see Dr. Thibadeau but he was out of the
office and his secretary suggested that she talk to Dr. Kurtz. Before going
to Miss Dunbar's committee meeting yesterday morning I tried to clear on this
question of vision with Dr. Thibadeau but was unable to do so. Ve did, how-
ever, suggest that he talk to Dr. Kurtz concerning it and you can imagine my
surprise when I learned last evening that they had rejected Mrs. Martin for
foreign service because of her vision. They tell me that this is necessary
because of the problems involved in securing proper glasses in foreign fields
in case anything happens to the ones they are wearing.
I do hope that Mrs. Martin will be able to find the kind of
a
position that she would like. She has a great deal to contribute and we are
asking her to keep in touch with us so that if we hear of any openings or
positions in which we think she might be interested we con put her in touch
with them.
Sincerely yours,
W
